The Wolbachia strain that infects the parasitoid wasp Encarsia formosa induces female-producing parthenogenesis. A new study shows that a Wolbachia-encoded gene has replaced the use of the ancestral wasp homologue that normally controls sexual reproduction, resulting in parthenogenesis.
感染寄生蜂丽蚜小蜂的沃尔巴克氏体菌株可诱导雌性孤雌生殖。一项新的研究表明，沃尔巴克氏体编码的一个基因取代了通常控制有性生殖的原始蜂同源物的使用，导致了孤雌生殖。
